I like that! I'm a gonna use that one, without attribution, of course. You do have a way with words. I oughta know, I been reading for several years now.

But what about the Palo Alto Trader Vic's? Is it not too refined?

Oh, that place is a froo froo hodge-podge of nouveau Silicon Valley Bobo aesthetic. Equal parts trust fund baby antiseptic and Cliff's Notes Anthro major mid-term.

I keed, I keed... do I?

*Now while we cannot expect every Tiki bar to have this climactic effect on everyone of us, it would be desirable that a sense of mystery and fantasy would be brought out by the right balance of decor, drinks and music, which COULD bring us closer to, if even for a moment, appreciate the mysteries of creation.

It's that kind of mumbo jumbo voodoo that made me write my book. So there.

There's a book? I have got to pay closer attention.

I agree. A little dark, potent drinks, some half-assed music would also be fine. There's a place in Downtown Chicago that fits the bill (oh wait...crap!). After several hours of one particular $4 Zombie night I appreciated the mysteries of creation, as I almost succumbed. Lucky for me I passed out at my table, then wet myself. I think it was in that order.
